Gutted, just bought this from a petrol station for a fiver! Works great though, would recommend.

Bought the tesco one for £5, couldn't get it to work with the TV. Going back tomorro. Guess I will have to fork out £20 for one to work with the TV and Sky

If you can wait a few days... when my Sky remote broke, I just gave Sky a call and said the remote control wasn't functioning any more and they sent me a new one within a few days free of charge.

Exactly.

I had the clowns phone me up (I'm in month 11 of 12) and they said my guarantee on the Sky+ box was finished. That it is not 12 months old escaped them and they said it would cost £150/200 to get a new one and would I like to buy some insurance.

I calmly told them not to be so stupid and that if Sky wanted to keep collecting my money, they would have to send me a new one. Simple as.

Most of the time such warranty calls aren't from Sky, rather cleverly-disguised cold calls from third parties. They call people telling them that their warranty has expired and could lead to a costly repair, the odds are usually in their favour since most homes have an old digibox lying around. They normally don't say they're from sky (since that would be a lie), rather that they've called about Sky.

there was something describing where to put the batteries and what all the buttons do, but no full code list or how to activate the code search function.

I'm after the codes for an Amstrad SKY box and a Technika 19" LCD TV
